I for one, have always like the voice commands in my Scorpio though many other love to hate it. Also, steering controls... I guessed so, when I saw the Scorpio's steering wheel in the pics. why else would they want to change the Xylo's good enough steering to the Scorpio's one? Because the Scorpio already has steering mounted controls.

The diesel engine of the new Mahindra Xylo is the same mEagle CRDI Diesel engine for 2 of its variants (E4 and E8) and more powerful mHawk engine for the top end E9 variant and a more economical MDI engine for commercial users on D2 and D4 variants.

Hope the E9 is not eating away the Scorpio customers. May be also the XUV5OO customers too.
The feature rich E9 is not at all, a bad deal compared to most of the Scorpio offerings and to some extent of XUV5OO too.
I am not considering the performance angel though. Period.

This new look of Mahindra is appreciated by maximum people and I think this would change the prospective view of people towards Xylo as a personal transport. I think Mahindra has got a winner again. It would be great if they get the same look in the Verito and mini Xylo as well

After having TDed the XUV5OO, I wouldn't worry about this eating into the sales for that. In terms of the ride (esp on bad roads) and handling, I do not imagine the Xylo to come even close. And while its much less aesthetically offensive (yes, totally subjective) that the earlier version, its not handsome in most ways. The XUV5OO, on the other hand, pleases quite a few (though some find the bling a bit much).
